I'm not sure he's actually prophesying the end of recruitment agencies. I think he's suggesting they will likely work to either lower fee levels and/or offer a slightly different service proposition. I don't know if I agree with changing what we do but I can see the argument for pressure on fees. Not sure about formal, retained Head hunting services but certainly for contingency work, fees are not what they used to be. Let's hope they go back to 4 years ago but I suspect earning what we used to bring in will become harder, but not impossible.

Some of us write articles about the death of recruiting, and some of us make a living as recruiters. Isn't it odd that the business has become easier and more robust over the years,for both of us?

Some people do, some people write about doing, some people worry about doing, some people get so
Bogged down in the dodo that they can't do. I guess it all depends on whether we want to do or just muck around in recycled dodo.
